The Park & Arcadia will be my main hangouts then. I can confirm Gate D it's fucking miles from everywhere. I know this cos I always end up working on it. Its especially far from the Oxfam campsite.

Looks in a pretty similar stage as this time in 2019 - even taking it back to 4th June 2019 to account for the earlier start this year shows pretty much the same picture - if anything, more has been done this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's really very little difference to today Looking at 2019 I am more concerned that we're behind, though against 2017 it's probably a lot closer. In 2019 the John Peel was being raised by this time and Silver Hayes was much further ahead. The gate infrastructure also looked to have been setup and all the trackway seemed to have been laid. In 2017 however, while the trackway and gate infrastructure was there by 2 weeks out of gates opening, there's still no sign of the John Peel tent and Silver Hayes was looking as barren as it is today. They were also only working on their 7th Tepee, there's at least 10 up so far this year... Here's a photo from 2 weeks out in 2017 for reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We camp at ZooBells which is the site next door to that. It's a bit of a walk, yeah. 10mins from camp to Gate D and then another 15 to the Park. I always find it to be quite a nice way to start the day, shakes out the cobwebs, but the walk from the SE corner at 3am is a real bugger! Yes used to be Pop Up, I wasn't too bothered by the walk until I had this stupid injury! Good news from fracture clinic this morn, only have to wear splint for 3 weeks so 2 weeks from now I'll be in a much stronger position, and I've purchased a much more comfortable splint so I can get back to planning 😁👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a photo from 2 weeks out in 2017 for reference Stages like Silver Hayes and John Peel go up in a day or two normally. I am sure they have specific dates for arrivals so I don't think there's any reason for anyone to worry. I'm sure some of the structures are probably being used at other events too this summer and it all depends on when things are ready to arrive on site.

DareToDibble Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 Yeah I'm sure someone has posted in here a couple of times that Silver Hayes work is due to start on Saturday 11th. All will be fine. This final 2 week are actually the best as there will be things flying up all over the place from now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, more done than last time in certain areas. E.g. Pyramid. Less work in others e.g. Arcadia and silver Hayes and glade. It'll be fine. Would love to see the project plan though. 🤓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DareToDibble Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 When do the Pyramid screens normally get put up? Feel like it's time we finally discovered if they're using bigger ones this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
